PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF MC-CDMA UNDER THE EFFECT OF MULTIPATH FADING CHANNEL USING RAKE RECEIVER

Abstract

In this paper we have shown the performance evaluation of multi-carrier CDMA (MC-CDMA) wireless communication system
with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in the presence of Rayleigh fading environment. Due to the effect of
multipath propagation the quality of signal received is degrade. For minimizing the effect of multipath fading (MC- CDMA)
RAKE receiver is used. Equal Gain Combining (EGC), Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) and Minimum Mean Square Error
(MMSE) Equalization techniques are used.
